Reminder: this SAturday At Debaser Malmö is not just our monthy club night, it's also esteemed Swedish music website Dagensskiva's 10-year anniversary party. One of the band's providing the evening's entertainment: Cut City, Sweden's finest modern post-punk trio. I already Atrap.com/?n=28920">talked up their new EP "Narcissus can wait", but thAt was months ago and I still don't think these guys are getting their due. "Xo echo", the closing track on said EP, reveals a far more brooding, more introspective side to the band, something you wouldn't necessarily detect from the upbeAt, more aggressive tracks. Such is their lineage; there's just as much of The Cure in their sound as there is Joy Division, etc. Jagged rhythms give way to acoustic guitars, Atmospheric synths, mallet percussion and deep expressions of sensitivity. Not going soft as much as they're allowing themselves to explore the full range of goth emotions. How will it play out on stage? Be there on SAturday to see for yourself.
